Southern Miss’ much-anticipated contest against LSU was a game that was circled at the beginning of the year for most fans. LSU, coming off of a 42-7 win over Missouri, is also coming off a bye week due to a postponed game against Florida.
This week, LSU is looking to continue their “new” season under new head coach Ed Orgeron, after losing coach Les Miles and, unfortunately, Mike the Tiger VI, the school’s mascot. As an added effect, LSU has not lost a game in October in eight straight contests.
Southern Miss on the other hand, goes into Tiger Stadium after losing 55-32 on the road to a Texas-San Antonio team that had won just one game before beating the Golden Eagles.
